Yup. Unless we're talking about the throwback we used in 94 . . . but the only real difference between the 80's uni's and the current is the helmet logo which I like better than the old one.

and the width of the white stripe that goes down the pants leg. also, the socks I believe. we don't wear the red/white striped one's. along with the shoes. we wear black shoes for the most part.

I think most people on this board are in their mid to late twenties, and can only remember the 94 team. Which is why most people are obsessed with that jersey.

To me they have too much going on with the new stadium, etc to be worried about them wearing an alternate jersey maybe 2 times a year. We just got new jerseys a few years back obviously and plus we will be getting the new nike ones (not that they will be any different). To me maybe once they open up in the new stadium and things settle down it could be something to look into. Probably isn't right now.

...there are only minute differences that most non-49er fans would be hard-pressed to spot (probably why EA always f**ks up our unis/throwbacks in Madden )

Having a throwback alternate that both honors the 1994 team, and the 1940s-early 60's teams which had no gold helmets/pants would be a nice change of pace. It's NOT like the team is going to switch TOTALLY to silver helmets or white pants....the NFL has gotten stricter on alternates and the rule now is teams at most can only wear throwbacks/alts for at most 2 games (and they can't be primetime games )

wait whats the difference between these two?

Only thing I'd change about our current uni's is the collar.

Yeah, it's been discussed many times before but it was made that way to fit the players shoulder pads better but with a fan wearing it to me it is just awkward and doesn't look right. Should have made the v neck for fans and the u shaped neck for players.

im 24 lol. i do like those jerseys tho and they make the most sense to use since our regular throwbacks look too much like our current jerseys for anyone to notice anyway
